Hmmm.. Maybe 3d printing for the chairs I am thinking, maybe 3d printing the entire cabin in one go could work, incl. the floor. 🙂

Me 4! I have to watch this, switched to 144th instead of being that brave 👍

Always great to see a big jet in 1:72. The gentleman's scale! Following with interest 😄

@treehugger the entire interior will definitely be 3d printed. I'm planning on buying a contour gauge so I can get everything as accurate as possible. The plan is to use side glow fiber along the windows and in the overhead spaces. Most of that wiring will be at the back where there are fewer exterior lights.

@ben Marshall. 1/72 is the ONLY scale. I'm personally excited for the BPK 1/72 Boeing 777-300ER

Prototype floor is ordered and should be here in 2 weeks. In the mean time, I will switch gears and try to start designing the seats. For anyone that wants to take a look around, i've made the file viewable using this link: tinkercad.com/things..S-jisxxsdFu3oAGZEBbo

following to see how your 3d project works out. Did you find the seats on tinkercad ?

@Dietmar I'm using an online tool called Tinkercad. Rather than building polygons yourself, it provides some pre-built ones, so it's easier to use than traditional CAD software.
@Erik I "designed" those myself, just to get a general sense of the dimensions for the more detailed ones

Sooooo.... I just discovered United Airlines' Star Wars themed 737 N36272, and I don't think I can say no

Wow, very interesting and ambitious, I will certainly take passage on this flight!

@andwil, thanks for catching that. @cuajete what a silly question. Sith…ALWAYS 😉

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with how the floor fits. It's not pictured, but I ended up cutting the middle section into two pieces, since laying the floor on top of the main gear bay assembly meant the floor wouldn't be flat. I also did some prototyping with the engines, to see if I could fit a motor inside the nacelle. While I could fit a motor in there, it spun too fast, even at lower volatages. I could try a motor with a reduction gear box, but I don't think that would fit inside the engine nacelle, so I think the motor will not be spinning after all

Reaper, have you tried to put a resistance in the motor feed? It should slow down the motor ...

I tried adding resistors to the motor. I could only find motors that ran around 10-15,000 RPM, so by the time they were operating at less than 1,000, the motor didn't have enough torque to spin the blades.

I may keep looking, but this is already a bit of an ambitious project at this point

If it has to run that slow, you definitely need one with a reduction gear

A little update since this has been sitting for a bit. I am still waiting for V3 of the floor. I received the parts a few weeks ago, but they were massively incorrect, so I've had to work with customer support to get the items reprinted
